Just had another Covid booster [View all]

I asked the pharmacist when I should get another—my last was in September 2025 and I thought I had read that the recommendation was one year. She said six months was a good interval so I took the plunge. Just in case you had the same question…

Added—I’m over 65 with no other risk factors, so your interval may be different.
